Syrian citizens from different governorates shoulder the countries that support terrorism, especially the United States and the Turkish regime, responsibility  of supporting terrorist organizations to carry out attacks on the Syrian people.

The citizens affirmed their absolute support for the Syrian Arab Army to eliminate the remnants of terrorist organizations and their American and Turkish-backed cells in the Syrian desert and to completely cleanse these areas from them.

What is most memorable about the year 2020?Covid 19 undoubtedly. This of course doesn't only apply to Syria but to the rest of the world. Covid 19 came and wreaked havoc everywhere it touched causing economic failure, bankruptcy and death. All countries suffered equally but Syria a tad more. Economic sanctions followed by the imposition of the "Caesar Act" left Syria in a deep trench. However with determination and sacrifice Syria was able to face Covid 19 with minimum loss of life. This was due to the implementation of a reasonable policy that went hand in hand with growing social awareness.

But 2020 for Syria was not only Covid 19 -  it was repeated Israeli attacks, with no repercussions whatsoever from the international community or security council. It was Turkish aggression and expansion into Syrian lands infringing on Syrian sovereignty. It was also continuous American looting of Syrian oil with most of the world turning a blind eye to it. Despite these heinous events Syria was able to start on the long road of reconstruction with Aleppo pioneering the process. The return of refugees was also a pivotal point with much focus on it, in the year 2020.

Over the past years, the European Union' view on the Syrian refugees file has been proven to be quite ineffective and needs -at the very least- to be redefined and redesigned, according to Member of European Parliament Athanasios Konstantinou.

The parliamentarian said in a statement to the Syria Times e-newspaper that the Syrian people have been in the center of a humanitarian turmoil for some years now and powers like E.U. must use their influence for a just and unprejudiced ending.

The EU member states’ foreign ministers and the High Representative, who have received an invitation to a conference on the theme of refugee returns, on 11-12 November, in Damascus., have rejected attending it under the pretext that the conference is premature.
